shuter is that a 1" tube or a 30mm? Not sure but I think the VX6 might have a fatter eyepiece.... How much bolt handle clearance do you have?
Matt;
I mounted my Trijicon 1-4x24 33mm tube with Warn QD Low Height .250" Maxima Series Steel Rings, Warne Part # 213LM. Had to really tighten the levers down past where they are intended to hold it tight! And keep the levers lined up straight back or straight forward to prevent recoil from shaking them loose.
The tight clearance spot is the bolt handle to the eyepiece and I think your Leupold might have a fractionally larger eyepiece.
Like shuter, I like my scope as low as possible.. But you do see the sights through it until you crank the power up to at least 2x. I never saw the sights when I was shooting at the elephant or buff and I think I had it on 1.5x.
I used Weaver bases but the Warn bases are way heavier and I would recommend them.. In fact I ordered them but they only arrived after we got back from Zim. So I have the scope off right now. When I took it off, it was obvious I had used too much "lock tight" and it was squished inbetween the base and the receiver, that might allow some slight movement so I'm still going to use lock tight, but one very small drop per screw!
I can send you the mounts and weaver bases so you can try them and send them back to me (you can keep the bases if you have a use for them).. I can easily live without them for a month. That might help you decide if you want low or med.... In fact you would be doing me a favor as I would like to know if the VX6 clears the bolt handle with these mounts. I plan to put the Trijicon on the CZ 505 Gibbs and buy a VX6 like yours for my M70 416 Rem Mag..... But if the VX6 will not fit in the low mounts I may re-evaluate..... Everyone has a different fit and low is the way to go for me.
Otherwise if your question is between medium and high, I would be pretty confident the mediums will work.
